The knot is a critical part of the fisherman's rig. No matter how superb the rod, reel and tackle, if the knot fails, the game is over. In Fishing Knots, expert angler Lefty Kreh offers a complete guide to tying essential knots for light tackle and fly fishing, from simple loop knots to the complicated, with precise illustrations to demonstrate each step.

 

Lefty gives helpful tying tips for achieving maximum line strength and describes effective methods for connecting lines of various diameters, securing knots in different types of wire, and attaching hooks, swivels and flies. Included with the book is an instructional 63-minute DVD that features Lefty tying his favorite knots and reinforcing techniques explained in the book.

A quality bobbin from the folks at Dr. Slick. This is the shorter, 3.5" version that allows great control and fits nicely in the hand.

 

The titanium oxide is a much newer generation of material that is more lubricious than ceramic. Has a raised micro pebbled or egg carton pattern on the insert that cuts down on surface tension. Ridiculously slick!

 

 

 

The original, thin handle rotary hackle plier design by Griffin. Great tool gives good grip and good control of the feather as it is wound. Highly recommended......these things are great!
